Please note that some fields might not be applicable for all technologies or all project
phases. The level of information detail varies according to phase requirements.
1. Renewable Energy Source
The Applicant should demonstrate that the renewable energy resource is available on a
sustainable basis.
Annual average resource availability. This process will assess the availability of local
wind and solar resources in order to identify the
optimized project arrangements based on site
conditions and local electric demand.
Unit depends on project type (e.g. windspeed, hydropower output, biomasss fuel)
